I'll admit that I'm a bit of a ufo buff and have always been a fan of movies like "fire in the sky" and "communion". I had high hopes for this movie since i first saw the trailer and am really glad i got a chance to see it opening weekend. this movie met and even exceeded what i had been hoping for. it is chilling, thought provoking and suspenseful. plus it tells the story in a completely unique way that - at least for me - was extremely effective. i thought the use of archival footage and reenactments was pretty amazing and it left me wondering the whole time how much could possibly be real. (while i believe that alien abduction has and does occur, i also realize that filmmakers do what they need to do to tell a story. for me, that space of wonder is part of the fun.) overall i though the performances were very good and am happy to see mila stretch a little bit as an actress. i still think she's capable of even more but i thought this was a smart choice for her that she pulled off successfully. i think a lot of people are going to be talking about this movie.
